The decision to subdivide an existing Neighborhood Council is made by the stakeholders of that Council, who will vote on this issue in a special election. A stakeholder of a Neighborhood Council is defined as someone who lives, works, owns a property/business, or who has substantial and ongoing involvement in a local organization such as a school or church within that Council’s boundaries. The voting age for this particular election is 16.

WHAT THE TOWN HALL IS ABOUT

The Town Hall will be co-hosted by the Office of the City Clerk, who administers all Neighborhood Council Elections; EmpowerLA (the LA City Department of Neighborhood Empowerment); and the Board of Neighborhood Commissioners (the Commission that supports the Neighborhood Council system). Presentations will include overviews of the subdivision and elections process. Read the subdivision application and see a map of the proposed new Neighborhood Council at http://empowerla.org/wclbnc/
